go-tui is a declarative terminal UI framework for Go.
It lets developers define terminal interfaces in .gsx templates using HTML-like syntax and Tailwind-style classes. The compiler generates type-safe Go source, while the runtime handles flexbox layout, reactive state, and rendering.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Declarative .gsx templates for terminal interfaces
- HTML-like elements with Tailwind-style utility classes
- Compiles templates to type-safe Go source
- Pure Go flexbox layout engine without CGO

- Keyboard and mouse event handling
- Modal dialogs, focus management, refs, and watchers
- Double-buffered renderer with diff-based updates
- Inline mode for embedding widgets in shell sessions
